Installation and hook-up Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting the dishwasher into its definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose. Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher. Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance. Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden. Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching appliances which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g. fireplaces, stoves, etc.). When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.). For free-standing models only: - Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden. - If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales Service. - To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service. 5 Installation instructions 2.1 Water supply connection Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance. The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused. CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers. In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring. The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60°C . Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply. DRAIN CONNECTION Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap. The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground. 6 Installation instructions 2.2 Electrical connection and precautions CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR. THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET OUTLET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND MEET THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. THE PLUG MUST BE ACCESSIBLE AFTER INSTALLATION. NEVER DISCONNECT THE PLUG BY PULLING ON THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD. "45 CM" MODELS ONLY (9-10 PLACE SETTING) AFTER CHANGING THE SUPPLY CORD, MAKE SURE THAT THE BRACKET WHICH SECURES THE CORD IS FIXED SECURELY IN PLACE. DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING. In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to avoid any risk. Some components are live even with the ON/OFF button in the OFF position. Before maintenance work on the appliance, remove the plug or turn off the power supply at the wall switch. IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD: AN OMNIPOLAR CIRCUIT BREAKER IN OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CLASS III MUST BE INSTALLED IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE POSITION ON THE POWER SUPPLY LINE. THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. L = brown N = blue = yellow-green 7 Installation instructions FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Fuse replacement If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3. Remove the fuse cover A and fuse B. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover. Refit both into plug. The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted. Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store. 8 User instructions 3. Description of the controls 3.1 Upper panel All the dishwasher controls are grouped on the upper panel.

The options cannot be used with the soak program. * ** (1) (2) Standard program under EN 50242. See information sheet provided Program consumption and duration figures have been measured in accordance with the EN 50242 standard. Values may vary depending on water supply and ambient temperatures and the type and quantity of dishes loaded. 1 or 2 cold rinses depending on the model. REFERENCES for the ENERGY LABEL supplied with the dishwasher: - - - Annual energy consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles with cold water using low-energy operating modes. Actual figures will depend on the way in which the appliance is used. Water consumption is based on 280 standard wash cycles. Actual figures will depend on the way in which the appliance is used. Information refers to the EN 50242 STANDARD program (identified in the programs table), which is the most efficient in terms of combined energy and water consumption. The program is recommended for dishes with a normal level of dirt. Drying efficiency class on a scale from “G” (minimum efficiency) to “A” (maximum efficiency). 13 User instructions 3.2 Wash programs Before starting a wash program check that:  The water supply tap is open.  The softener container contains regenerating salt.  The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser.  The baskets have been correctly loaded.  The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction.  The dishwasher door is securely closed. OPTION SELECTION Press the button to the required option; the corresponding light will come on to confirm activation.    It is not possible to select any options when the soak program is being used. All options except "Flexi Tabs" are disabled at the end of the wash cycle. To disable the “Flexi Tabs” option, press the button (the light will turn off). All options, including "Flexi Tabs" are disabled when a program is CANCELLED after it has begun. ADDITIONAL OPTIONS (on some models only) These are activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously as shown by the graphics on the control panel (e.g. “Flexi Tabs” in this illustration) SPREAD HALF LOAD Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Spread dishes across both baskets; the detergent dispenser should be loaded with less than the normal amount for a full load. 14 User instructions ENERSAVE Allows energy consumption to be further reduced by opening the door automatically for better drying at the end of the wash cycle, ensuring optimal drying with lower rinsing temperatures and thus providing significant energy saving. At the end of the open-door drying phase, the end of the wash cycle is indicated by a short beep. Enersave is activated automatically every time a compatible wash cycle is selected (see program table) and can be disabled before the program is started. When this function is activated, opening of the door must not be impeded in any way; do not leave anything in the space in front of the door necessary to allow it to open. Do not re-close the door during automatic opening as this would damage the mechanism. Wait for the pushers to retract before re-closing the door. Flexi Tabs Specifically for washing with combination detergents in tablets, which also contain salt and rinse aid (3in1) or other agents such as glass protector, steel rinse aids, etc. (4in1, 5in1…). When this option is selected, salt and rinse aid will not be dispensed even if the relative compartments contain them. If the containers are empty, the lights will remain on. With short programs, because there is less time for them to dissolve, tablets may fail to wash effectively and undissolved residues may be left. Powder detergents are more suitable for these programs. If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes. For further information, refer to the detergent pack. IMPORTANT: when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out). These products are not suitable for use with excessively “hard” water. If the hardness level set is higher than H3, when the option is activated the relative light flashes to indicate that the product is being used incorrectly; the dishwasher will still work, but washing results may be poor. 15 User instructions ULTRA CLEAN Prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a power cut), the option light an program lights (2) flash to warn that this additional wash phase has not been completed successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than usual. PROGRAM DELAY The start of the washing program can be delayed by from 1 to 24 hours depending on the model, to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). ● It is not possible to select the option once the cycle has begun. ● When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the count of the "program delay" set will begin. Models without display The start of the program can be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours. The button can be pressed again to select the delay required (the relative light comes on) or disable the option (lights off). Models with display The button can be pressed again to select the delay required, increasing it in onehour steps, with the duration shown on the display. 16 User instructions CANCELLING A PROGRAM IN PROGRESS  Open the door, taking care to avoid splashes of water, and hold down the PROGRAM SELECTION (3) button for a few seconds until the indicator lights for programs 4 and 5 illuminate simultaneously (marked "end").   Close the door. After approximately 1 minute the dishwasher will advance to the end of cycle. CHANGING THE PROGRAM To change the program in progress, simply open the door and select a new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will automatically select the new program. TO SAVE ON ENERGY!…AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT  Always use the dishwasher with a full load.  Do not wash the dishes in running water.  Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.  Do not carry out any preliminary rinsing.  If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. TO REDUCE DETERGENT CONSUMPTION AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent save on electricity as well, observe the following recommendations:   Sort your dishes, washing delicate items separately from those more resistant to strong detergents and high temperatures. Do not pour detergent directly onto dishes. If the door must be opened while a wash cycle is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The corresponding light will continue to flash and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, as it could cause problems in running the program. 17 User instructions SWITCHING OFF At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the lights of programs no. 4 and 5 (marked "end") flash. To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1). ENERGY MANAGEMENT After 5 minutes of inactivity (wash cycle completed, stopped or set but not started), the dishwasher switches to standby mode to reduce energy consumption. In this mode, the dishwasher indicator panel (lights or display depending on model) functions more slowly (switch-on once every 5 seconds). REMOVING THE DISHES At the end of the wash program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket do not drip onto the dishes still in the bottom basket, you are advised always to empty the bottom basket first. 18 User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare it for use as follows:  Adjust the water softening system  Add salt  Add rinse aid and detergent 4.1 Using the water softening system The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water, responsible for whitish marks on dry dishes The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness). SALT When using water of medium hardness, the salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 wash cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 kg of salt grains. Some models are equipped with a cap with a no-salt optical indicator containing a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, salt must be added. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.    When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container. Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never enter the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated. Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. 19 User instructions  Do not use table salt, as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.  The salt container should be refilled before starting the wash program. This way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. Adjustment is made using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (3). ● Hold the button down for more than 15 seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) show the current setting. ● Each press of the button changes the selection, following the sequence in the table below. > After adjusting or displaying the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode. 20 User instructions WATER HARDNESS TABLE German degrees (°dH) French Degrees (°dF) 0-6 0 - 11 7 - 10 12 - 18 11 - 15 19 - 27 16 - 21 28 - 37 22 - 28 38 - 50 29 - 35 51 - 62 36 - 50 63 - 90 SETTING All lights off (no salt) One light on Two lights on Three lights on Four lights on Five lights on Two lights on Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. 4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right. With the exception of the SOAK program, it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser before every wash cycle. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required. 21 User instructions ADDING RINSE AID Rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle. To add rinse aid:  Open the door.  Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it.  Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 ml). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely dark. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator turns clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light turns on.  Replace the cover and turn it clockwise.  Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. It is possible to change this setting by turning the dispenser selector to the required position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed depends on the selector position.      22 To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap a quarter of a turn anticlockwise and remove it. Then rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position. Replace the cap, turning it clockwise. The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or have circular stains. If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid dosage. User instructions ADDING DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the wash cycle, the dispenser will open automatically.       When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on model). Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect wash results. Once opened, the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent will lose its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the wash results. There are various liquid and powder detergents on the market with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C . - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C ) and are more easily biodegradable. Enzyme detergents provide comparable results at low temperatures to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents. To protect the environment, we recommend the use of phosphateand chlorine-free detergents. 23 User instructions The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4.3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types and loading. There are generally no constraints on washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:  Remove large food remains, particularly bones, which may clog the filter or damage the pump.  Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food to facilitate its removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal wash results. 24 User instructions WARNING!      Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the wash cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out. Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover each other. Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or stains may remain at the point where they touch. MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe:         Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high wash temperatures. Handmade items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket. Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain. Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour. Silverware: silver items may stain. Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clarity after many washes. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the most gentle program available. Decorated items are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade with frequent washing. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month. 25 User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 10 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET Used for items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. In some models the bottom basket is fitted with racks which can be lowered to make better use of the space available.
